Mastering trendbreaks - How to trade it?In this guide will the trendbreaks be discussed. The following subjects will be explained:
- What is a trend?
- What is a bearish trendline break?
- What is a bullish trendline break?
- How to trade a trendbreak?
- Example
What is a trend?
A trend is the backbone of price action in any market. It represents the general direction in which price is moving over a sustained period of time. When price is consistently creating higher highs and higher lows, the market is considered to be in an uptrend. This behavior shows that buyers are in control and are willing to keep paying higher prices with each wave. On the other hand, when price continues to make lower highs and lower lows, the market is in a downtrend. This shows that sellers dominate the market and buyers are unable to push price above previous levels. Understanding trends is essential because it gives traders a framework for anticipating what is most likely to happen next, rather than guessing in random price action.
What is a bearish trendline break?
A bearish trendline break takes place when an established uptrend begins to lose momentum. In an uptrend, price usually respects a rising trendline, bouncing off it multiple times as buyers defend the bullish structure. Eventually, there comes a point when the market can no longer sustain this strength. Price breaks down through the rising trendline, signaling potential weakness. However, the true confirmation of a bearish shift only happens once the market also breaks below the most recent higher low. This is the key moment where structure changes. What was once a sequence of higher highs and higher lows now transforms into lower highs and lower lows, showing that sellers are gaining control. Without this structural shift, the break of the trendline alone might just be a temporary pullback or a false signal.
What is a bullish trendline break?
A bullish trendline break is the mirror image. In a downtrend, price respects a falling trendline as it consistently makes lower highs and lower lows. Each rally upward fails to break past previous highs, confirming sellers’ control. Eventually, price surges and breaks above the falling trendline. Just like with a bearish break, this initial move is not enough on its own. The true sign of reversal comes when price also breaks above the most recent lower high. This action destroys the existing bearish structure, which relied on lower highs to remain valid. Once that lower high is broken, the market shows that buyers have taken back control and a potential uptrend may begin.
How to trade a trendbreak?
For a valid trendbreak, three conditions must come together. First, the price must break the trendline itself, either rising or falling depending on the direction of the trend. Secondly, the breakout needs to be with strong volume. lastly, the price must also break the most recent higher low in an uptrend or lower high in a downtrend. Without this structural break, what looks like a reversal may only be a correction before the market resumes in its original direction. This distinction is crucial because many traders enter too early on a simple trendline break, only to get caught when the market snaps back into the trend. The combination of both the trendline break and the structural break provides much stronger confirmation.
Trading the trendbreak is where discipline and patience make the difference between success and failure. When the structure has been broken, it is tempting to enter immediately in the direction of the new move. But the higher-probability entry usually comes from waiting. Price often pulls back after a break, returning to retest the broken level. This retest can take different forms. Sometimes price simply returns to the broken higher low or lower high and uses it as support or resistance. Other times, price fills what traders call a fair value gap (fvg), which is an imbalance left on the chart when price moves too quickly in one direction without much trading in between. By waiting for this retest, a trader enters at a better price, with a tighter stop loss and greater profit potential.
Example
For example, imagine the market in an uptrend. Price respects a rising trendline until it finally breaks through it. Shortly after, the market breaks below the most recent higher low, confirming the bearish trendbreak. Instead of selling right at the break, the disciplined trader waits. Price pulls back upward to retest the broken higher low, which now acts as resistance. At that moment, the trader sells with a stop loss just above the retest level and targets the next support or previous swing low. This provides a controlled risk and larger potential reward.
The same logic applies to a bullish trendbreak. Price in a downtrend breaks above the falling trendline, then pushes higher to break a lower high, flipping the structure bullish. Price later dips back down to retest the broken lower high or fills a fair value gap. When it holds and begins to rise again, the trader enters long, with a stop below the retest and a target at the next resistance level.
By combining awareness of trendlines, structural shifts, and retest opportunities, traders can filter out false signals and position themselves to catch the early stages of new trends. The trendbreak is not just about spotting the first sign of weakness or strength, but about confirming that the underlying structure has truly changed. This approach gives a trader clarity, consistency, and confidence in execution, making trendbreaks one of the most powerful tools for price action trading.

CHFJPY / GBPUSD / EURGBP Trade Recaps 22.08.25A tester trade on CHFJPY with the reasons explained as to why this was a test position, a long position executed on GBPUSD, a solid setup that this time around just didn't commit. And lastly a long position on EURGBP playing the failure of sell structure and getting involved in the buys.
Full explanation as to why I executed on these positions and the management plan with all three.

BTC Swing Points (Linear Scale) ISTRUCTURAL AWARENESS
This analysis seeks to provide structural insights by identifying key levels and understanding historical price patterns to anticipate the limits potential future scale of price movements.
Indicators in use:
I'd start with retrieving HH LH HL LL points by script I've designed based on Pivot Points to be as aware as possible of key levels of the historic structure:
Adding altered Zig Zag that shows only percentage change of the swings. This would be another layer of the historic pattern capture:
BOTTOMS:
Wave analysis from '22 - '24
Logarithmic Trendline: It looks like a curve on linear scale, which we will use to link the composite but significant lows and extend it to the right. This gives a sense of a low levels which we assume would be hard to break anytime soon because of the price is a range away:
Breaking below and staying under that level for more than a few bars would signal a bearish trend, depending on emerging patterns at smaller scales as price nears the curve.
Since a Double Top pattern could develop, an additional line curve aligned with the HL and passing through the next bottom (black dashed curve) is necessary. If price breaches the main curve’s orange dotted line, it may descend toward the secondary curve, a significant lower boundary derived from historical curvature. A break below this level would require an even stronger bearish effort to actually keep it below because of high volatility and existing frequency of reversals.
Adding short-term trendlines which would be easier to break (Red and dark orange dotted continuation of the lines)
TOPS:
To anticipate how high it can grow, we'll connect the extreme tops as well.
2021 ATH ➡︎ 2024 ATH
2021 TOPS
2017 ATH ➡︎ 2021 1st TOP
Price breaking above "2017 ATH ➡︎ 2021 1st TOP" is a sign to switch to log scale where identical distance resembles identical % change to capture a bigger scale move relative to the structure.
GBPJPY – Bulls Knocked Out, Bears Step In!After rejecting the 200.00 resistance, GBPJPY broke below key structure and shifted momentum to bearish.
Price is now retesting the broken support turned resistance, aligned with a descending trendline.
🔎 As long as this area holds, the bias remains bearish with potential for another downward leg.
👉 Plan: Look for short opportunities around the retest zone.

BTC| BULLISH
HTF Bias: Fresh mapping aligns bullish. Previous outlooks adjusted — that’s part of the craft, we flow with market structure. Strong upside momentum confirms intent.
MTF View: SSL has already been swept, but I’m anticipating a deeper dig into my 30M OB. That’s where my refined IFS (Internal Framework Structure) sits.
Execution Plan: Once that mitigation occurs, I’ll shift down to LTF for confirmation before executing continuation buys. Until then, patience. Let smart money handle the delivery.
Mindset Note: Traders who rush will miss the clarity. Precision waits, emotion chases.
GBPUSD| BULLISH
HTF Bias: Structure mapped bullish. Price has already mitigated higher-timeframe OB, refined down to precision. Notably, LH break with wick rejections adds confluence for intraday upside interest.
MTF View: Tracking SSL below current structure — waiting for that liquidity sweep into the internal framework zone. That’s the key POI for continuation.
LTF Setup: Patience. Once the sweep + tap plays out, I’ll wait for a clean flip in structure to confirm long entries.
Mindset Note: No rushing — letting liquidity unlock the move. Discipline comes before execution.
